"At Amarula, we believe that Africa’s spirit is one of unparalleled optimism and rich cultural diversity. The marula fruit is itself a vessel of infectious African energy that inspires positivity," comments Maisha Mamabolo, Brand Manager: White Spirits & Liqueurs at Heineken Beverages. "The Spirit of Africa Award is more than just a category, it’s a celebration of the storytellers who bring this ray of sunshine to life in ways that inspire and connect us all. We’re excited to see how content creators across South Africa will interpret and showcase what makes our continent so extraordinary."
